A saintly supper: Your St Patrick’s Day Recipe

March 17 is time to celebrate Ireland’s contribution to the world. Brown soda bread has got to be up there as one of the island’s finest offerings – and we’ve got the recipe

Irish or not, the world goes green on St Patrick’s Day.

When it comes to dinner, green food can get a little unusual, but if you’re not inclined towards pea soup or emerald-coloured cupcakes, don’t panic. Ireland has lots of recipes up its sleeve, from beef and Guinness stew to bacon and colcannon.

Should you be planning a St Patrick’s Day party this year, you’ll need something super-tasty to nibble on as you raise your glass of Guinness to all things green. Let us suggest some brown soda bread and smoked salmon pate. Homemade.

Daunted? Worry not, because here Lesley Keogh of the beautiful and historic Village at Lyons in Ireland’s gorgeously green County Kildare shows you how to tackle it with your very own hands.
